Cats is still a kitten - wide-eyed and busting with energy.
WhatsonStage
One of the West End's previously longest running and most popular musicals makes a special return to London, for another limited engagement at the London Palladium. Ideal for Christmas with the family, Cats is based on TS Eliot's 1939 book for older children, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. With spectacular costumes, dazzling dance moves, and some of the most memorable show tunes in musical theatre (Memory, MaCavity, The Song of the Jellicles, just to name a few!), Cats will leave you in awe. And possibly suspicious of any cats you may pass on the way home after!
This exciting new revival will be directed by Trevor Nunn, the Tony and nominated director behind the original 1980s West End productions of both Cats and Les Miserables. After sold out runs for Nicole Scherzinger and Kerry Ellis, Beverly Knight will be taking on the role of Grizabella on the show's return!
Once a year, a local tribe of street cats, all with their own distinct names and personalities come together for the legendary "Jellicle Ball". Here they entertain each other, tell stories, and listen to wisdom given by their elderly and respected leader, Old Deuteronomy.
Halfway through, their gathering is interrupted by the tattered and torn Grizabella. Repulsed by her sorry state, the Jellicle Cats shun her and chase her off, despite the pleas of Old Deuteronomy to show compassion. But what happens when their beloved leader is catnapped by the dastardly master-cat of crime, MacAvity (think a feline version of Moriarty!)? Will the Jellicle cats be able to save him? And WHO is the mysterious Mr. Mistoffelees?
Cats held the record as London's longest running musical until 8 October 2006, upon which date it was surpassed by Les Miserables at the Queen's Theatre. Dance star and director Wayne Sleep originated the role of Mr. Mistoffelees in part thanks to his short stature (5ft 2in).
